Ramsey got a little too conservative there late 3rd, early 4th and it almost cost them. For as poorly coached as this team was their halftime adjustment, while simple, was really good. Man up the WRs, put 7 in the box and trust that you won't get beat on the back end where your athletes were playing. Ramsey didn't adjust quick enough and that 38-24 lead shrunk in a hurry.
Tackling across the country is an epidemic in football and this Elder team is no exception, which is surprising because even with the lack of team speed the past few years, they've always tackled really well. Tonight it was even worse because guys were worried about being run past/by. They were thinking too much about angles and not enough about tackling the ball carrier. I will say, Elder won't face a faster team this season, but Ed's, X, Winton Woods will have RBs that will just run through these arm tackles, time to clean it up now.
Overall, a win is a win. They keep the momentum rolling headed to next weekend's showdown with Eds. Someone mentioned earlier that this team, specifically the offense plays with such a casual confidence. No moment seems too big and they don't get down when things go awry. That alone will keep this team dangerous because they never play like they're never out of a game.
